Another Chicago Tribune article titled: Dems aiming to pressure Biden to investigate Trump, reported this comment.
“Martyring Donald Trump is a very bad idea and it could tear this country apart.”
Add this article to a previous article yesterday report the Pelosi wants to impeach Trump a second time brought to my mind the irony of a King Solomon verse written 3000 years ago before the invention of the Bible, printing press, computers, and google.
The Purpose of This Post
To relate an ancient wisdom verse to the news reports in our contemporary times on the subject of how people are remembered in history to be recognizes as a martyr for either a religious or political belief.
Definition of martyr – Merriam Webster
1: a person who voluntarily suffers death as the penalty of witnessing to and refusing to renounce a religion
2: a person who sacrifices something of great value and especially life itself for the sake of principles martyr to the cause of freedom
3: VICTIM especially: a great or constant sufferer martyr to asthma all his life— A. J. Cronin/
King Solomon
What has been will be again, what has been done will be done again; there is nothing new under the sun. (Ecclesiastes 1:9)
For the wise, like the fool, will not be long remembered; the days have already come when both have been forgotten. Like the fool, the wise too must die! (Ecclesiastes 2:16)
What’s My Point?
Anyone interested in how people are remembered most in history will certainly recognize that one of the best ways is to add their name to a list of martyrs in history.
For example, a Wike list article I googled lists names and dated under a title of Political Martyrs.
My point is to wonder if the Dems planned actions to impeach Trump twice, prosecute, and perhaps jail him will add the name of Trump over time to be added to names on the Wick list.
In My Opinion
I frankly consider the irony when I think that someday the Democrat Party will be considered in the same context as the High Priests who martyred Jesus Christ for challenging their religious beliefs or actions.
Or if we consider the definition of a political martyr in the Wiki article.
“A political martyr is someone who suffers persecution or death for advocating, renouncing, refusing to renounce, or refusing to advocate a political belief or cause. Notable political martyrs include: …
And then relate how the Democrats and Mass Media ever since the 2016 constant attacks on Trump might be considered to be a form of “political persecution<” meaning you don’t have to necessarily be nailed to a cross or hung to become a martyr

You Decide
Will the name of President Trump someday be added to the Wiki lists of Victims.?
Will the Democrat Party someday be associated with the High Priests who are considered to have been fools.?
Or will the parting sentence of the WWII hero, General Douglas MacArthur:” after being fired for his political disagreement with President Truman be considered.
“Old Solders never die; they just fade away.”

Doug,
Thanks for your comment, except….
…come on Doug, I know you are messing with me. No where did I state Jesus and Trump are on the same level.
Messing with me is doing the same thing the High Priests in ancient Israel did, and the now the hateful Dems and, on the CNN, and liberal news media continues to do.
That is to distort any message about Trump to persecute him for trying to drain the Washington swamp from politicians who are in office to enrich themselves or their family or friends, same as Biden did when he set up his son.
In my opinion, keep in mind 75 million voters voted for Trump and witnessed what the swamp and news media owned by the liberals did to persecute Trump by the Dems and phony news media.
When Pelosi and her gang impeach and prosecute him, it will be the same as nailing Trump to a cross and making Trump to be a martyr.
Sad how people in power keep repeating the same follies as previous fools, in my opinion.
Even more sad how voters never seem to wise up to the swamp and keep being manipulated with campaign slogans like “Change we can believe distort any as usual turned out to be another empty suit politician promise.
And now Joe Biden is promising to unite the country by persecuting Trump which will in the eyes of 75 million voters will be one more nail in Trump’s four-year term.
And if we consider what happened after the first 2 years of Obama, the voters wised up and ended the Dems control of both house and senate.
Yep, another repeat example of “nothing new under the sun” or in the Washington swamp, in my opinion.

Doug,
I read your link and noticed it is another CNN report. After reading, I can appreciate how happy
Europe is about Trump being out of office.
Trump was the guy who made Europe pay up their NATO dues instead of the USA paying to protect them.
Trump was the guy who nixed their globalism hopes of always being on the positive end of trade balance then the USA which robbed USA workers from manufacturing jobs.
Trump is the guy who made the Paris Accord allow China keep polluting the atmosphere by not having to agree to cut down their pollution to make USA goods more expensive than other Nations in the Paris Accord.
Trump was the guy who ended the USA paying US dollars to Iran for heavy water enriched from Russian Uranium they obtained for US uranium mines sold to the Russians approved by Clinton
Yes indeed, Europe and other nations are elated and now dancing in the streets knowing they can return to business as usual to have USA help them prosper instead of American workers.
What you have not figured out is when globalism rules, someone is prospering from China slaves working in prison camps to make cloths that cost China owners to sell goods that cost them $5.oo to US sellers who pay them $10.00 for the item and sell the same item for $50 in the USA.
Thanks for your comment, except Doug, do you have any means to change channels once in a while from CNN to a listen to other political new opinions that are not biased to the owners of the news sources propaganda??

I actually watch a little of FOX.. until I get sick of the lies there and switch it off. But here’s to the greater point, Rudy…. I really don’t listen to believe, like Conservatives do at their Conservative-leaning sites. I listen to consider…. and then critical thinking takes over.
So.. what excuse did you buy into to dismiss the attack on OUR Capitol by Trump supporters?
